How to Stop Recurring Strep Infections

November 4, 2024

As a child, I dealt with recurring strep infections. It’s what lead me to having to surgically remove my tonsils and adenoids at the age of 10. I know all too well the frustration of having strep return over and over again. But it was even more stressful when it started happening to my own children. We had a 6 month period where strep infections were returning each month. Strep can be dangerous and can negatively impact the brain and the body. This is why I searched high and low to figure out WHY it was happening to us and HOW to stop recurring strep infections from happening. I stumbled upon some research and a solution that has completely helped us stop recurring strep infections in our home. The relief I have had as a Mother is palpable. I wanted to share my findings and experience incase others are going through the same cycle as we were.

The Best Natural Online Wellness Sites and Stores in Canada

October 22, 2024

When it comes to finding natural and non toxic products that you enjoy and use in your home, accessibility can sometimes be an issue. When in Canada, that accessibility becomes even more limited. Most of the popular wellness brands hail from the United States. This is a barrier for most who don’t want to be spending so much on conversions rates, shipping rates, and dreaded duty fees. Even if I had all the money in the world, I would not welcome that unexpected $60 duty fee at my door. That being said, there ARE some really great wellness brands and stores in Canada. You just have to know what they are. So this article is dedicated to rounding up some of my favorite options for those who live in Canada.

How to Heal Tooth Decay and Cavities Naturally

July 8, 2024

Dental decay is one of the most common health concerns and keeps people in the dental chair more than they’d like. I have had my fair share of dental woes over the years. Although, I have learned over the years that many factors go into dental health and tooth decay and cavities ARE avoidable. I never really thought it was a possibility to heal tooth decay until I experienced it first hand. And while there are situations that have gone too far and warrant work from a dentist, this lead me to dig further into the research which opened my eyes to a whole new way of looking at dental health. After all, if bones can heal and reform, why not teeth? It really goes deeper than just “don’t eat sugar” and “brush your teeth”. I wanted to dig into some of the information I have come across over the years and what I have implemented with my own family over the years.

The Best Natural and Non Toxic Laundry Detergent

May 31, 2024

truly free laundry detergent, truly free, natural and non toxic laundry detergent

If you’ve been slowly switching out your conventional products for natural options or you haven’t quite found the perfect natural laundry detergent, then I have a swap for you. Finding a Natural and Non Toxic Laundry Detergent is one of the most important swaps to make in my opinion. When it comes to replacing toxic items for safer ones, my number one rule is to start with the products that come into contact with you the most. This could mean deodorant, shampoos, hand soaps etc. But one of the most important items to focus on in my opinion is laundry detergent. Not only is it responsible for washing every single clothing item you wear and the linens you sleep in, but conventional laundry detergents are some of the most toxic items you can find on a store shelf.
